> "communitarianism" just being authoritarianism with happy words painted over it

There are various different definitions of "communitarianism" but the idealized American Town Hall model of direct democracy is a direct example of communitarianism at the local level.

Political Scientists and Philosophers (all of whom are mainstream btw) like Michael Walzer, Robert Putnam, Charles Taylor, and Michael Sandel all touch on a light form of communitarianism that directly connects with Democracy.
This bites me all the time. It really shouldn't, as I'm always like: "man i'm an idiot". But inevitably I make this mistake and lose time over it.
Hanford was used for two decades after the Manhattan Project, so I wouldn't peg it for the full the cost of cleanup
> Another way to put it is, why burden the government with an unsustainable uncompetitive market? For what?

Because the societal costs of certain industries' unregulated activities do more harm than the economic cost of doing that regulation.

Despite what the Libertarian Party's pamphlet might say, regulation is invariably reactive rather than proactive; the saying is "safety-codes are written in blood", after-all.

Note that I'm not advocating we "regulate AI" now; instead I believe we're still in the "wait-and-see" phase (whereas we're definitely past that for social-media services like Facebook, but that's another story). There are hypothetical, but plausible, risks; but in the event they become real then we (society) need to be prepared to respond appropriately.

I'm not an expert in this area; I don't need to be: I trust people who do know better than me to come up with workable proposals. How about that?
Sure, and what happens when, after you do that, some calamity happens and stocks go down by more than 50%, you lose your job and you can't pay the mortgage anymore?

That is of course extreme, but proves the article point: by not having debt, you can sustain a much broaden series of events.

As everything in life, it's a spectrum. I think it's pretty reasonable to accept the "sustainability narrowing" that comes from an affordable mortgage, but I avoid taking debt for other goods that are less important and would limit my ability to withstand unexpected events and accidents

The hardware support isn’t there. The iPhone is not an open platform, so it will take a long time before there is anything worthwhile. Apple moving to their new chips on the desktop helps, but it will be a long road, and it’s questionable how much of that development will make its way back to old iPhones.

Unless you’re interested in joining a community trying to develop Linux on the iPhone, it’s really not worth it. There are thousands of better ways to go.

Apache Fury – fast serialization framework – 0.5.0 released
We're excited to announce the release of Fury v0.5.0. This release incorporates a myriad of improvements, bug fixes, and new features across multiple languages including Java, Golang, Python and JavaScript. It further refines Fury's performance, compatibility, and developer experience.
Fury is a blazingly fast multi-language serialization framework powered by JIT and zero-copy.
Fury can be used to accelerate the data transfer efficiency in big data distributed frameworks such as flink/spark and feature/message transfer in rpc systems.
Pl@ntnet does that.

What's even cooler, is that they release all their data as open data¹. So you could create highly specialized listings if you want.

I agree. Two lanes of parked cars is in some ways a "waste of space", but in areas with houses built before cars it's not actually too bad. Naturally keeps the speed of cars passing through pretty low so biking in the road isn't too dangerous.
The “five-figure” is not money, and it expires:

Additionally, informants may not even get that:

I'm always surprised at how much people can talk about simplicity and complexity without giving any definition of those terms.

Basically, the actual content of this article is giving the author's own indirect definition of the word 'complex'. The way I understood the definition is 'complex = overgeneralised and purposefully made harder to understand'.

This is different from other definitions. For example, according to Rich Hickey's definition, multimethods are 'simple' because they provide 'polymorphism a-la carte'. According to author's definition they would be complex because they are an overgeneralised implementation of polymorphism.
The problem is the muda should have expected values associated with them. Bugs and security vulnerabilities do cost money, these are 90% confidence intervals of dollar impact from How to Measure.

The Demagogic Case for Open Borders
I can't tell you how true this is. The first company I worked for merged with another org, and one of their muckity mucks was given the Director of Innovation position or something equally vague, whilst I was in charge of everything IT. It was absolutely shocking to me how much stuff he did was just bring in consultants he had a past relationship with who would promptly sell him some piece of overpriced enterprise software and charge us huge sums of money to integrate. Didn't matter if there was already a system in the org doing that, didn't matter how our evaluation went, didn't matter if it failed load testing, shove it in. And somehow after every project he was involved with failed, he just kept failing upwards.

I'm trying to reconcile how a consumer-grade compressor fits into this. Clearly such a device can compress a few gallons of gas, which could be allowed to cool to room temperature, and then used to spin a small dynamo. This action clearly converts some amount of energy, but where does it come from? Perhaps the problem is we're not looking at a closed system at that point.

All speech laws have exceptions. E.g. it obviously wouldn't be "free speech" if a CEO was lying about company performance to investors.

I think what makes this case so weird is where the line is. There are legitimate reasons to not join a union and a company should be allowed to vocalize those reasons, of course the line is being crossed when the company threatens it's employees. But how far did the Amazon CEO go? Unions will add bureaucracy, that is certainly a fact and companies should be allowed to say as much...
Any particular reason he is leaving?
Even for consumer software, the common 7/14/30-day free trials are bizarre.

My general use case is to download and test software to use it a single time, for some random new task I only need that day. To use the software for 5 minutes.

Then three months later, oh it turns out I need to do that thing again, or test it out in a new way. It says the trial has expired, even though I only used it for 5 minutes. And I'm not going to pay $$$ just to use it for another 5 minutes and possibly never again.

I don't understand why x-day free trials haven't been replaced with usage-based free trials. E.g. whether it's exporting a final result 20 times, or running a filter 50 times, or processing 100 input files, or whatever metric makes sense for the particular product. Or heck, keep it a 14-day free trial but count the days individually -- so if I use it on May 2 and then on May 15, that's only two days.

The idea that, as a consumer, I'm going to sit down and fully evaluate a piece of software over the course of 7/14/30 consecutive days to then make a purchasing decision is bizarre.
> and it is actually a cost of living metric.

It is not. A CPI measures the change in cost of a fixed basket of goods. A COLI measures a change in cost of a fixed level of "well-being".

> It's not like when people can't afford a house, that demand disappears.

It is like that. That's literally what defines demand. Perhaps you have confused "demand" with "desire"? They do share the same first couple of letters.
Adding back support for the older hardware is really a nice touch here.
This blog post on dating.

https://thingofthings.wordpress.com/2018/05/25/models-a-summ...

Alright, it's not really a blog post about dating, per se. It's more of a blog post about becoming the kind of person who maxes out their dateability, no matter what their starting physical/mental/spiritual condition.

It's hard to explain what reading this post did to me. There are a few times in my life where I consciously decided to switch life trajectories radically and become someone entirely different. First age 8, when I vowed to become an idiot. After reading this was the second one, age 24, where I vowed to become a sexy idiot. I printed it out at the college library and reread it every day at breakfast - a strategy I highly recommend to my fellow nimrods. And, voila, age 25 when I, the jester, moved countries with no passport, no job lined up, and no plan, to go live with the woman who I would eventually call my wife.

Now I'm her sexy idiot. Progress!
If we are talking about how people use this work in other languages, then yea of course I don't know what or how they use that language. I assumed we were talking about English spoken in the West.

> It is hard to believe that users can tolerate a produce message latency of hundreds of milliseconds with WarpStream

I think that the critical axes of competition (for your company and for WarpStream) here are latency distribution versus cost and durability. Many users might be willing to tolerate produce latency in the 100s of milliseconds at the p99, provided the p50 is fast and the messaging system is cheap to operate. The same tradeoff applies for durability: if the p999 stays fast in exchange for replicated in-memory buffers being the sole residence of data before batched shipment to S3-alike, some users might be less (or more!) interested in that messaging product.
You are correct and the precision is appreciated. However your emphasis is somewhat misleading.

In the lisp world, when data represents code, it's probably stored in a tree. Elsewhere, when data represents code, it's probably stored as an array of bytes. There code may not be recognised as being data at all.

It's the difference between eval taking a byte string and taking a parse tree. Rather literally.

This is only a convention. Lisp does it right, but as almost everything else thinks code is strings, confusion abounds.
But why???
Disparity and exploitation are not the same thing as ignoring an obvious way to reduce labor costs. Why would companies be smart enough to outsource labor overseas, but somehow lack the know-how to simply hire women and save 23% of labor costs? Because the "women make 77 cents on the dollar" meme is just looking at raw incomes, and not adjusting for type of job and experience.
So the US folks will have a real problem rather sooner than later. Of course, we others as well, better start investing time in woodworking, mechanics, healthcare or agriculture...

>I think it's unacceptable that a third-party driver is necessary to record system audio on Mac.

Good news: it's not. At least not from macOS Ventura onwards.
The code is careful not to read past the end of the buffer, but it doesn't explicitly check that there are enough bytes available for the current multibyte character. However, this "end of buffer in middle of character" error is caught later by the check for valid continuation bytes. I thought that was quite neat.
Browser games, they've nailed it. So if you're talking about gamification: this is what you ought to be talking about.
A small additional improvement might be to also create a random 16bit salt at startup and then xor the timestamp with that, to leak even less information. That way entries will still have locality without leaking ms timestamp info.

Show HN: I made an app to boost your daily productivity
Show HN: Share events to your friends' calendars
This is about a cool hack for a trivial problem a friend and I faced. We couldn't invite friends to a summer party because we didn't have some of their email addresses. Next best option? Share a text in a Whatsapp group. However, does everyone keep the event in mind when planning other things?

Hence, we came up with save2cal.com. This javascript app allows you to create your event and share the link with your friends. When the link is clicked, it opens the calendar app with your content prefilled such that they can directly save the event. Happy to hear your thoughts!

One thing we'd love to change is making the links shorter. We don't store anything on the server side and encode all entered information in the string and decode it in the browser when the link is clicked. Then we generate the calendar file and open it. Ideas to make the link shorter? We could create a shortlink mapping, but then we would need to store data. We don't want that.

An example:

But you can say "unions are bad." What you can't do is make baseless claims about the concrete outcomes of negotiations, precisely because they are negotiations between two parties.

So, for instance, if he says employees will be "less empowered with a union", that's something concrete that depends strongly on what the negotiated contracts with the union look like. How can he possibly know? The only possibility is to interpret it as a threat, e.g. I will not allow for a contract that empowers employees more.

DARPA has been working this problem for decades. I’m fairly skeptical anything will come of “AI-enabled EW” on the battlefield. The fundamental problems are still of physics and hardware engineering - can I sense and retune my transmitter quickly enough to keep up with a frequency agile adversary (you can’t), can I broadcast loudly enough over a broad enough spectrum to drown out my adversary without also committing fratricide (also no), can I classify wartime reserve modes and respond appropriately (you think you can, but any reasonably clever adversary — which is to say anyone already playing in the space — will exploit your naive AI to their advantage.)
